Well players have been begging for a harder game for years now. I can't see why anyone is surprised now. Players wanted a more difficult and challenging game to play. So here it is.

I see less and less money and focus on the main item of game, the horses.

The EC, is all ready to time consuming, and equus consuming, niw it is increasing even more.

I still am made about how long it takes to find a ec to put your horse in. Way to many steps.

Yes, but the more money you make, the better "chance" you have to raise better horses because then you can afford to pay for them, etc.

Honestly, I don't see why people are so upset about not being able to rise to the top. I don't see what the point is.

The test server is small and would crash if too many people were trying to test on it. It does not even have most GA coats, helios ray backgrounds, and avatars in its database default smiley :)

At least the spoiler topic gives everyone a chance to hear about what is coming, and issues being encountered, and solutions for those. It may sound very confusing without actually seeing it in action, and I know that when I first saw it I was default smiley :odefault smiley :o but after trying stuff out it makes more sense and less panic.

I have a new foal games schedule ready for the day everything launches on INT, which will probably be the last week in February ... default smiley (ow) permitting default smiley :p

These changes should actually help. You can now have a better EC more easily which can provide both Income and a good place to train horses. More things can be crafter vs. buying with passes now.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about

the Drafts coming at the end of March. We will have more than enough time to gather resources to breed them.

I noticed on the test site it is like going back in time while advancing at the same time... The horses, items, and sales are from a while ago (the KWPN gp is only at 4180). But at the same time, it adds new features. Its weird to me doing things with horses I have sold, and not having the horses I have bred more recently! Kind of cool but I don't know how much I like the knew changes..... I prefer the way it is on here compared to most things on the test serverdefault smiley (ow)

Reading this zone is rather like getting stuck into a thriller novel - one never knows what is going to be revealed next.

Well, I spent the whole afternoon on Prepod. And if those changes I experienced comes here, then it will be expensive! It cost me over 1 million equus to set up my EC with the changes. I like the changes, but they're too expensive. Howrse needs to lower the cost of these new items.

I have a question about some of the EC changes....
Click to display
Does the option to directly upgrade boxes come back? Or the option to remove showers from boxes? (I have showers in lower level boxes and don't want to lose them) Didn't know if this needed to be in a spoiler or not, but better safe than sorry

As a matter of fact - yes:

Taken from the Preprod EC Time Line
Click to display
Draft horses

These new features will be released in May
trait
Two draft horse breeds are added to the game!

Draft horse breeds work in the same manner as donkeys, meaning they can breed three times in their lifetime.
They behave the same as other horses (BLUP, competitions, training...).
Mission earnings are twice the earnings of a regular horse: they earn twice as many skill points, twice as many Equus and bring twice as many resources or Equus to the equestrian center.
Players can submit creations for draught horses in the creative space.

Other than this - not much is known about them (so skills, coats, breeds (though there is a screen shot of the Create a Team page listing Shires so they are probably one of the two breeds)

As far as I can tell - this feature is not coming back and has been removed entirely (as I just bought on testing a 1* box to see if I could do anything to it and I can't)

Aw man default smiley :( I thought we were told it was coming back. At least prices seem to be lower overall.

How's the cow growing going? Time period for them?

For the person talking about showers,

If you destroy a box, the s ghost owner goes in your inventory. It has been that way for awhile.

Technically yes, but it is one of the lighter draft breeds. I imagine shires, clydesdales, percheron etc. are the kind of breeds that will be introduced as draft horses as they are the heavier breeds and are more typically associated with farm work.
